Chapter 45 Chapter Eleven (3)

Hand-to-hand combat training is the main training subject of the reconnaissance troops. After a recruit has undergone routine training such as capturing the enemy boxing and capturing the enemy boxing, he begins to enter Sanda training.Veteran scouts who have served for more than two years all think that Catch the Prisoner Fist and Catch the Enemy Fist are child's play. Those moves are dazzling and can make the layman stunned for a while, but the actual combat effect is not so good. not so good.And the real kung fu is in Sanda. It's like martial arts figures fighting in a ring. The training ground was roaring and dust was flying.The scouts were all doing Sanda sparring one-on-one, and the fighters moved around and fought in a group.

Zhang Haiyang and Mandun were standing face to face to prepare for a duel, Mandun looked at Zhang Haiyang at a loss, he already felt a kind of fear. Zhang Haiyang said sincerely: "Comrade Wu Mantun, compared with yours, my military technology is still far behind. You should help me well." These insincere words were obviously meant for others to listen to, Man Tun seemed to feel a little uncomfortable, he looked around hesitantly. Zhong Yuemin was sparring with a fighter on the side. He threw the sparring fighter out with a back-and-slung movement, then turned around, put his hands on his waist and stared at Mandun.

His eyes met the eyes of those who were pleading for help, and a sneer appeared on the corner of Zhong Yuemin's mouth... Zhang Haiyang squatted down in a fighting stance, Mandun raised his fists in a protective posture, Zhang Haiyang suddenly kicked Mandun's abdomen, Mandun quickly dodged, who knew that Zhang Haiyang used a virtual move, he retracted his leg suddenly, his left arm was like lightning, and a beautiful left hook hit Mandun on the nose. Chung's head was full, and Zhong Yuemin's face was splashed with blood from his nasal cavity. Zhong Yuemin yelled at Zhang Haiyang: "Hurry up, help me, send me to the hospital."

Zhong Yuemin rushed out of the training ground with his back full. In the emergency room of the hospital, Zhong Yuemin and Zhang Haiyang stood aside, watching several medical staff busy around the injured man. Company commander Liu Yonghua and instructor Dong Ming hurried over. Liu Yonghua glared at the two of them and turned his head to ask the doctor, "Doctor, is his injury serious?" A middle-aged doctor said: "Fracture of the nasal bone, it would be dangerous if the blow was stronger. Broken bones can easily injure the motor nerves. However, the problem is not serious now."

Dong Ming looked at Zhong Yuemin and Zhang Haiyang. Zhang Haiyang said in a low voice: "Instructor, I blame me for this matter. I missed it. I ask for punishment." Dong Ming said with something in his words: "Why are you two again? What a coincidence." Liu Yonghua also stared at Zhang Haiyang and said: "Punishment? Who is the punishment? I should praise him for practicing military skills so hard, but...is there some other reason for this?" Zhong Yuemin seemed aggrieved: "Company commander, if you say that, we will be wronged. It is common to miss in Sanda practice. If the reason is investigated, we will not be able to practice in the future."

Man Tun propped himself up from the hospital bed and testified: "Company commander, instructor, Zhang Haiyang did miss. When he punched, he called me to pay attention. My movements were slow and I didn't dodge." Dong Ming waved his hand: "I'll talk about this matter later, you guys go back first, Mandun won't be participating in training anytime soon, heal your injury first." In the evening, Zhong Yuemin and Zhang Haiyang sat beside the parallel bars on the playground with dejected expressions. They smoked in silence and neither spoke. Zhang Haiyang took a long breath: "Yuemin, am I going too far? I feel... very uncomfortable."

Zhong Yuemin also sighed: "Ocean, don't blame yourself, I'm the one to blame for this matter, I was the one who came up with the idea, alas, this matter has gone too far." Zhang Haiyang's voice was a little trembling: "Thinking about it carefully, Man Tun is quite a good person, I really shouldn't do something wrong." The two fell silent again. In the evening of the second day, the soldiers of the first company were covered in mud and returned from the training ground exhausted. Zhong Yuemin and Zhang Haiyang finally walked into the yard of the camp. The two of them froze suddenly as soon as they entered the yard, as if they were greatly shocked...

They saw Wu Mandun with gauze wrapped around his face drying the wet military uniforms on the rope... Zhong Yuemin and Zhang Haiyang recognized it, it was the military uniform they changed yesterday, their eyes filled with tears in an instant... That night, Zhong Yuemin, Zhang Haiyang, and Wu Mandun sat together on the playground again, and they reconciled before the lights were blown. Mantun came to the playground at the appointment, and he cried when he saw Zhong Yuemin and Zhang Haiyang. He felt that he was sorry for his brothers. As soon as the company commander slapped the table, he sold the two brothers. He was really ashamed .

When he cried, Zhong Yuemin and Zhang Haiyang's noses also became sore. Zhang Haiyang grabbed Mandun's hand and said ashamedly: "Mandun, I'm sorry for you, I did something wrong that day, you... don't hate me, I'm so fucking mean." Zhong Yuemin also said in a low voice: "Mantun, it was my idea, I apologize to you, can you forgive brother?" Man Tun covered his face with his hands and cried bitterly: "I'm sorry brothers. The company commander said that if I don't tell the truth, I will be discharged from the army and go back to my hometown. Brother, I can't go back. You have never tasted the taste of being poor. I grew up so big. I haven't even dared to eat stick noodles. I have six younger siblings who serve as soldiers for me. My father insisted on doing three years' work for the branch secretary's family for nothing, chopping firewood and carrying water to cook pig food. Delay, the branch secretary is quite conscientious, went to the commune armed department to ask for a place for me, on the day I received the enlistment notice, my father knelt in the branch office and bled from his forehead..."

Zhong Yuemin hugged Mandun sadly: "Mandun, stop talking...why didn't you say these things earlier..." "... When I arrived in the army, I seemed to have entered heaven. I had clothes to wear and food to eat. I was not afraid of your jokes. I was afraid of eating wild vegetables, so I hoped to work hard in the army and be an official. I have a job, my parents and siblings also have something to look forward to in the future. I have no family and no education, but I have strength and can do work. Didn’t Lei Feng do it just like that... Brother, I can’t forget the day I left the village. All the folks in the village saw me off at the entrance of the village, and when I walked one way, I turned around and licked three heads, and after I walked another way, I licked again..."

Man Tun cried too much to speak. Zhang Haiyang couldn't help crying too. Zhong Yuemin didn't cry, but for the first time in his life, he felt that he had done something wrong, and it was also the first time he learned to repent. At the beginning of 1969, the border war between China and the Soviet Union broke out in the Zhenbao Island area on the northeast border, and the eyes of the whole world turned to this place, which is located in Hulin County, Heilongjiang, on the Chinese side of the central line of the main channel of the Ussuri River, with an area of ​​only 074 square meters. km on the island.The armies of the two once-close-knit socialist countries fought a limited border war in the region, with soldiers from both sides fighting with a high degree of patriotism and fearless sacrifice.Although the equipment of the two armies is very different, the Chinese soldiers' reckless combat posture really surprised the Soviet soldiers. After the war, a Soviet major who participated in the battle of Zhenbao Island said in shock that he saw a Chinese rocket launcher with his own eyes. This is completely a way of fighting with the opponent. In the Chinese army with a total strength of more than five million, even if there are ten of these desperate soldiers One is also a scary number. Although this limited border war has temporarily ended, on the long border between the two countries, the Soviet Army's fifty-five motorized infantry divisions, twelve combat rocket divisions, ten tank divisions, and four air force corps, With a total force of one million, they are eyeing the border of Chen Bing, and the shadow of war hangs over the border. China in 1969 had turned into a huge barracks. Military spending in that year had soared by 38%. China had no choice but to switch to a wartime economic system.The Chinese army, with a total strength of 5 million, is completely ready for battle.All active-duty soldiers have canceled their vacations, the No. 1 and No. 2 heads of troops at all levels have entered the combat duty room, and ammunition has been delivered according to the prepared base.According to the order, the Strategic Missile Force entered equal preparations with the Soviet Army, and all the ground guidance stations for controlling the flight direction of the missiles were also opened. This year, almost all branches of the army have launched combat preparations, and 60% of the troops have become "engineers".The reason is very simple. The professional engineering troops are really overwhelmed, because all the troops need to have their own air defense shelters and assembly fortifications. Digging tunnels has become the main job of Chinese soldiers this year. A tunnel under construction leads to the depths of the mountain, and railroad tracks are laid in the center of the tunnel.Some soldiers wearing hard hats pushed out a dump truck full of gravel from the depths of the tunnel, and the truckloads of gravel were dumped into the valley. This is a construction site for a certain field army. The tank regiment that Yuan Jun belongs to is here construction. On the excavation surface in the tunnel, Yuan Jun was wearing a safety helmet and covered in muddy water, holding a jackhammer to go down the excavation surface. Go, the detonators and wires are being installed... The security officer blew his whistle, and the soldiers ran out from the depths of the tunnel and retreated to a safe zone. Yuan Jun and a few soldiers who had just withdrawn from the tunnel were sitting and resting near the entrance of the tunnel. He took out cigarettes and distributed them to everyone, and while lighting them, he complained: "Damn, aren't we tank soldiers? Why are we changing to engineers? The tunnel is exciting, almost three months?" Wang Daming, who was in the same platoon with him, said: "It's too early, it won't be finished in another three months. I heard that this is the fortification of our regiment. Once a war breaks out, the whole regiment can withdraw people and equipment." A Henan soldier named Wang Baocheng said: "Do you think our regiment is the only one digging tunnels? Tell you, the whole army is digging tunnels. This is called digging deep holes and accumulating food widely. My brother was a soldier in the Northeast. He wrote that they were also there." Tunnel." Yuan Jun said: "The whole army has changed their careers. Don't call it the People's Liberation Army anymore, but the Engineering Army." Duan Tiezhu, the squad leader, said, "Yuan Jun, you're here again? You'll feel bad if you don't say a few strange words, don't you?" "I said class monitor, why do you always find fault with me? If you always look down on me, ask the instructor to adjust the class for me." The instructor Wu Yunguo just came over: "Yuan Jun, where are you going to transfer?" "Instructor, you'd better change the place for me, our squad leader doesn't like me anyway." Duan Tiezhu stared: "Yuan Jun, don't make trouble for nothing, why do I think you don't like it?" Wu Yunguo asked: "Yuan Jun, where do you think the transfer is more suitable for you? Tell me." "Why don't you just let me raise pigs? How come the pigs we raise are getting thinner and thinner? Last time a pig ran away, good guy, the wall of the pen is 1.5 meters high, and the pig jumped over it , Absolutely agile, but is that called a pig? It’s almost like a weasel. If you want me to raise pigs, I guarantee that within two months, those pigs will be raised like elephants." Wu Yunguo smiled: "Let me ask you, what is the purpose of your insistence on raising pigs?" "Look at what you said, what purpose can I have? I have liked animals since I was a child, and I think pigs are also a cute animal." Wu Yunguo smiled and said: "Hey, we even have an animal lover. It is said that people who like animals are generally kind. Do you mean that you think you are kind?" "Instructor, you still know me." "Of course I understand you. You think raising pigs is a good job. You don't need to dig tunnels, and you don't even need to participate in morning exercises, do you? Tunnel." Just as they were talking, there were continuous explosions from the depths of the tunnel, and the soldiers were silently counting the number of explosions. The explosion stopped.Yuan Jun stood up: "It's broken, there are two holes that didn't fire." Duan Tiezhu put on his hard hat and said, "You all wait here, I will go in and eliminate the squibs." Yuan Jun stopped the squad leader: "I was also there when the explosives were installed. I understand the situation, so I should go." Duan Tiezhu said: "Listen to you or to me? You avoid." Yuan Jun stubbornly blocked him and said, "This is not a matter of who is a big official or a small official. Whoever understands the situation will go." Duan Tiezhu stared again: "Yuan Jun, are you still rebelling? How dare you disobey the order? Get out of the way..." "I said monitor, let me go. Anyway, you don't like me. If you blow me up, don't you worry about it? Besides, if I become a martyr, our class will be messed up if we don't make trouble." The title of Yuan Jun’s class. As the class leader of Yuan Jun’s class, you will have something to do this time. For example, go to various parts of the country to give reports and talk about how you cultivated a hero. By then, there will definitely be many young women. Presenting flowers to you, expressing the love in my heart to you, so you just pick and choose..." Duan Tiezhu couldn't laugh or cry, Yuan Jun's harsh words were hurtful enough, he took such a serious, life-and-death matter as a joke, and never forgot to make the squad leader happy.But... this boy Yuan Jun is still very courageous at the critical moment, maybe he has underestimated him before, Duan Tiezhu said bitterly: "Yuan Jun, you boy wait, I will settle accounts with you at the class meeting tonight..." Instructor Wu Yunguo stood up: "Second squad leader, I think Yuan Jun can be sent. He was present when charging the medicine and was familiar with the situation. Another point is very important. Yuan Jun's performance just now made me change my usual view of him. He can show a heroic and fearless spirit in critical moments, he is a man, and deserves the respect of every one of us." All the officers and soldiers present fell silent with solemn expressions. Duan Tiezhu hugged Yuan Jun lightly, he was emotionally moved: "Good brother, be careful, don't take the stumbling and stumbling in the past to your heart." The comrades-in-arms rushed forward, hugged Yuan Jun one by one, and repeatedly urged Yuan Jun to bid farewell to the comrades one by one, and walked into the tunnel step by step... The instructor looked at his watch nervously, and the soldiers also stared at the entrance of the tunnel intently. Suddenly, there was a dull explosion sound from the depths of the tunnel, and a puff of smoke and dust gushed out of the tunnel mouth. Duan Tiezhu, the leader of the second squad, shouted heartbreakingly: "Yuan Jun..." He led the soldiers into the tunnel through thick smoke. Zhou Xiaobai had just pushed a hospitalized patient to the inpatient area that day. She pushed the wheelchair back to the main building of the hospital, and saw a Jiefang truck driving into the hospital at high speed, braking in front of the main building, making a harsh noise, and a group of people covered in muddy water The soldiers rushed to the emergency room carrying a stretcher. Zhou Xiaobai saw drops of blood dripping from the stretcher onto the corridor... People who work in the hospital are used to this kind of seriously injured people, Zhou Xiaobai didn't care, she pushed the cart back to the internal medicine clinic. In the injection room, there were several patients waiting for Zhou Xiaobai to hang up the hanging bottle. Without taking a breath, she was busy disinfecting and injecting the patients. At this time Luo Yun rushed into the injection room: "Xiaobai, something happened to Yuan Jun." Zhou Xiaobai's heart was shocked, and the syringe in her hand fell to the ground. She grabbed Luo Yun and said, "What happened? Tell me quickly." Luo Yun's face was pale: "I heard that the squib was removed during construction, and he was seriously injured. He is currently being rescued in the operating room. Doctor Zhang is the surgeon. Xiaobai, do you think he will die?" Zhou Xiaobai comforted: "Don't worry, Doctor Zhang is the best surgeon in our hospital." "Xiaobai, will he be disabled?" Zhou Xiaobai was in a hurry: "Oh, why are you asking these things now? You have to save your life first. Why do you think so far? Come on, let's go and have a look." Luo Yun and Zhou Xiaobai stopped at the door. Zhou Xiaobai asked strangely: "What's the matter with you?" Luo Yun hesitated: "No, I can't go, I'm afraid I can't control myself, if I let others know my relationship with Yuan Jun, the matter of joining the party will be over." Zhou Xiaobai stomped her feet angrily: "Luo Yun, what time is it, do you still care about this? If you don't go, I will go. I'm not afraid of being told." She slammed the door and left.
